This is a 12-week course where the student gets one weekly lesson for 12 weeks.

LYP108 marks the transition from playing the piano correctly to playing it meaningfully. Students move beyond technique to focus on musical expression through touch, tone, phrasing, dynamics, and emotional intent.
This course develops conscious listening, thoughtful interpretation, and a personal musical voice. The emphasis is on depth, sensitivity, and communicating the emotion behind the music—not just playing the right notes.
By the end of LYP108, students don't just perform pieces-they bring them to life, using technique as a tool for expression.
